Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

X server config doesn't exist for my case. Rest of files attached.

Also I tried to launch X server as "startx -- -logverbose 6" from runlevel 3, but something went wrong and fast user switching wasn't available in this case (some error about desktop .service file was thrown by Gnome).

Used environment: same as Sebastian.
Kernel command line: "BOOT_IMAGE=/gfx_20110221/isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=LABEL=wdmp_e3 rootfstype=auto ro liveimg rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 drm.debug=0x04"

Can you update to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=232757 (kernel-2.6.38-0.rc8.git0.2.fc15) and retry?

Nouveau was artificially limiting the number of possible GPU clients to preserve VRAM.  For a number of complicated reasons, we have no choice but to reserve VRAM for each and nouveau was erring on the stingy side.  I've fixed this now, and the maximum possible number of clients (32) supported by the GPU is now allowed.

Just for future reference if anyone cares, the DRM will use 1 of these, every X server will use 2 (for 2D rendering, another for AIGLX) and each 3D client will use at least one depending on how the client is written.

Sorry for the delay, I've been caught up in work in the real world. :-/
I've bought a USB stick to use for testing though so I hope to retest this and return to you with answers during the coming week.

(kernel-2.6.38-0.rc8.git0.2.fc15) and retry?

Sorry, I used live image for testing. Is it suitable to use image from the following link?

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/

Fixed, as for me. However, just one instance of glxgears or glxinfo is working at one time. If you launch second one, it waits for completion of the first.

Used image: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2947116 (Fedora-15-Nightly-20110325.20-x86_64-Live-desktop.iso)

Is it an expected behaviour or some logs should be attached?

That's very odd.  There's nothing in nouveau itself which'd do such a wait.

However, can you run glxinfo in gdb and get a backtrace of where it's stuck waiting, just to be sure.

Sorry, I didn't found how to make gdb output more informative than simple case like "gdb glxinfo" -> "run". There are nothing interesting even with debuginfo package installed.

I've run glxinfo under strace -ir and the wait can be noticed there. Used environment is same, other logs is attached too.

Also it isn't a stable issue. The best way to observe it is a simple default login and launching terminal to reproducing  — no more windows, user sessions or other actions.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
